[SOLVED] Bluetooth can't discover XBOX controller

Hi there,
I'd like to use the linux-zen kernel in order to use gamescope in HDR, for using my PC as a console. However, when booted into the linux-zen kernel, my PC fails to discover the XBOX controller, and won't connect even if it's previously paired. I have the xpadneo-dkms driver installed, alongside linux-firmware, linux-zen-headers etc. I believe my bluetooth / wifi card is the MT7921, but I'm not 100% certain, as it shows up under `lsusb` as "Bus 001 Device 002: ID 0e8d:7961 MediaTek Inc. Wireless_Device"

Did the driver build successfully when you installed the new kernel/headers?

Well you did read what pacman told you, right?

Re: [SOLVED] Bluetooth can't discover XBOX controller

I fixed it!
After some diagnostics, it turns out that, while the module was installed, it wasn't loaded. So I ran

sudo modprobe hid-xpadneo

and that was all it needed. I added the line

force_drivers+=" hid-xpadneo "

to my dracut config, and it works fine. Weird that the driver automatically loaded on other kernels, but whatever.
Thanks for the help, but really it was my fault for trying to fix this at midnight smile
